Project

PDF Parsing / Chunking CLI

A command-line tool concept for extracting, cleaning, chunking, and preparing document content for AI-assisted workflows.

Overview

This project explores how structured document content can be extracted from PDFs and prepared for downstream use in search, AI-assisted review, retrieval workflows, or documentation utilities.

Problem

PDF content is often difficult to reuse cleanly. Text extraction can lose structure, headings, tables, page context, and logical reading order. For AI workflows, poor input structure can lead to poor retrieval, weak summaries, and unreliable answers.

Planned approach
  • Extract text from PDFs while preserving useful page context.
  • Clean repeated headers, footers, page numbers, and layout artifacts.
  • Split content into useful chunks for review, search, or AI workflows.
  • Output structured files such as Markdown or JSON.
  • Keep the tool simple enough to run locally from the command line.
Tools

Python, command-line workflows, document parsing, Markdown, JSON, AI workflow preparation.

Status
